the meteoric shower of 1888, will, if Gen.
able, enable US to receive the account con-
tained in the 18TH verse of the 10Th chap
ter OF the Book of Joshua. 1t reads thus,
And the sun stood still Hebrew, twas
sllent' } and the moon stayed until the
people avenged themselves upon their
enemies" SIS net this written in the
Book OF Jasher?"
With regard to comets: Spectrum
analysis shows that they are gaseous
bodies OF incalculaole dimensions, their
nuclei being mere cOndens atlons OF the
same. One OF these masses being not yet

Die 10 the human eve, coming within the
influence OF the earth, particles of it are
drawn by conveyance, within the sphere
OF mutual attraction, rush together, and
arrested motion gives out light enough to
make visible and heat enough TO melt
them to the form ia which they appear to
us as meteorolites. But before they come
within the influence of the earth 10 effect
this, these cloud forms may exist in a
shape globular, oval or amOrphous. The
rays or the sun, penetraJlnE these, are
converged IS by a lens, AID The bril-
liant light thus produced might well be
taken for the sun standing still upon
Gideon, and hasting not to 20 down about
whole day. The moons stay over The
valley of AjelOn implies simply full
moon rising about sunset, and hanging
all night over the conflict. That this
meteoric state OF the heavens is suppos-
able may be inferred from the statement
in the 18th verse, that "The Lord cast
down great stones from heaven
upon them," killing more OF the Amorltes
than were slain by the swords of the
children of Israel. The records of me-
teoric showers sustain this idea.
To any one Interested In the subject of
comets tails | would suggest this expert
ment as worthy of his attention, if he has
not theory of his own or adopts that of
another: Contine globe OF glass full of
water in tube and through it pass the
SUMS rays into dark room; which done
he will probably be induced to write an
article on comets tails for the Popular
Science Monthly il SO inclined. He must
not, however, fail to allow for the differ
ence resulting from the contining OF his
globe in glass casing, and one limited
only by the unrefiectiDg character OF the
darkness around--the darkness on the fuce
Of the Great Deep of the creation.
